Corrupt the Heart, Refine the Soul: Starting with Sacrificing Fear

A Veteran Reader with 7,000+ Hours Recommends Great Books! Let’s Swap Recommendations!

A Lone-Wolf Protagonist Who Helps No One, Is Cold-Blooded and Merciless, and Has a System

Looking for an Extremely Dark, Evil Protagonist with No Allegiance to Any Side…

High-IQ Protagonist, Decisive and Ruthless, Any Genre

I only want highly intelligent, ruthless characters. No one who has to drag around a deadweight all the time.

Cultivation Novels About Selling Medicine or Talismans to Earn Spirit Stones and Slowly Build Up

I want to read books similar to With an Attribute Panel, I Ground My Way into Becoming a Cultivation Grandmaster.

Any Stories Where the Protagonist Isn’t a Doormat and Would Kill a Beautiful Woman Who Picks a Fight?

Ideally something with imaginative fantasy elements, but I’m open to other genres too.

Looking for a Book About Someone Ruthless Who Does Whatever They Want

Looking for books similar to "Hong Kong Movies: Inspector Huang, Watch Out or I’ll Sue You for Defamation". I want one where the villain...

Looking for Books Where the Protagonist Has a Strong Killing Instinct

Any Novels with a Truly Ruthless and Realistic Protagonist?

No saintly protagonists.

Looking for Highly Rated, Long Novels with Tight Logic, No Idiotic Characters, and No Mindless Plotting

No brainless power-fantasy novels, and no novels filled with idiotic behavior. The logic should be a little more rigorous, and the book should be at least 400,000 Chinese characters long.

Dark Novels

Nothing slow-paced, please. Don’t recommend novels where the protagonist spends ages blabbering before killing a villain, or gets tangled up with a bunch of women.

Cultivation Novels with No Saintly Protagonists, Decisive Killings, and Smart Leads

Cultivation stories with an intelligent protagonist and villains who aren't idiots.

Kill, Kill, Kill. Forge the Dao Through a Sea of Blood, and Let Darkness Engulf All Things. Pure, Utter Darkness.

A female lead is fine, but no saintly, self-sacrificing heroines. No comedy, and no overly talkative characters.

Now This Is What You Call a Unorthodox Path

Looking for books like "I Practice Unorthodox Ways, So What If I’m Cunning and Devious? (Exorcising Ghosts and Patrolling the Heavens)". This book is really, really good. Even though it’s still ongoing, both the protagonist and supporting characters are well-developed and clearly portrayed. The plot moves along really well, and the characters are...

A Handsome Protagonist Who Isn't a Goody-Two-Shoes, Practices Demonic Arts, Cuts the Chatter, and Kills

I hope the protagonist isn't an idiot. They should know to finish off their enemies and never let any threat go.
